- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, liquid nitrogen capacities commonly range from 50 to 100 litres, supporting several thousand cryovials.
- Temperature range
- Units of this type typically maintain vapour phase temperatures below -190°C.
- Refill interval
- Advanced insulation commonly allows for liquid nitrogen refill intervals of up to 6 months, depending on usage and ambient conditions.
- Footprint
- Cryogenic vessels in this category typically have a compact footprint, suitable for laboratory environments.
- Material
- These vessels are commonly constructed from high-grade stainless steel for durability and thermal performance.
- Power supply
- While the vessel itself is passive, monitoring systems commonly require a standard UK single-phase electrical supply (e.g., 230V, 50Hz).
- Security features
- Units often feature lockable lids and can be integrated with remote monitoring systems for enhanced sample security.
